브레이크 패드의 제조 공정은, 백플레이트를 준비하고 마찰재를 형성하기 위한 마찰재 분말을 준비하는 단계(예비 공정), 마찰재 분말을 마찰재 형태로 예비성형하여 백플레이트의 일면에 부착하는 단계(성형 공정), 백플레이트에 마찰재가 부착된 브레이크 패드를 가압 지그를 이용하여 클램핑하는 단계(클램핑 공정), 가압 지그에 클램핑된 상태로 브레이크 패드를 열처리하는 단계(열처리 공정), 및 열처리 완료 후 마찰재를 연삭하는 단계(연삭 공정)를 포함한다.The manufacturing process of the brake pad may include preparing a back plate and preparing a friction material powder for forming a friction material (preliminary step), preforming the friction material powder in the form of a friction material and attaching it to one surface of the back plate (molding process), Clamping the brake pad having the friction material attached to the back plate using a pressure jig (clamping process), heat treating the brake pad with the clamped state of the pressure jig (heat treatment step), and grinding the friction material after the heat treatment is completed. (Grinding step) is included.
과거 브레이크 패드의 제조 공정은 수작업에 의해 의존하는 비율이 높았으나 자동화 공정을 도입하고자 하는 노력이 있어 왔다. 일례로, 상기 성형 공정과 관련하여, 대한민국 공개특허 제10-2008-0021171호는 브레이크 패드에 사용되는 마찰재에 사용되는 마찰재 케익을 자동화 공정을 통해 제조하는 브레이크 패드용 마찰재 제조 방법을 개시한다. 또한, 상기 연삭 공정과 관련하여, 대한민국 등록특허 제10-0965613호는 브레이크 패드에 구비된 마찰재의 연삭을 자동화하는 브레이크 패드 연삭 장치를 개시한다. In the past, the manufacturing process of brake pads was highly dependent on manual labor, but there have been efforts to introduce an automated process. For example, in connection with the molding process, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2008-0021171 discloses a friction pad manufacturing method for a brake pad that manufactures a friction material cake used in a friction material used in a brake pad through an automated process. In addition, with respect to the grinding process, Korean Patent No. 10-0965613 discloses a brake pad grinding device for automating the grinding of the friction material provided in the brake pad.
상기 클램핑 공정과 관련하여, 가압 지그에 복수의 브레이크 패드를 정렬시키는 공정을 자동화하는 예로서 대한민국 공개특허 제10-2012-0013702호는 가압용 지그를 이용한 브레이크 패드 가압장치를 개시한다. In connection with the clamping process, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0013702 discloses a brake pad pressurization apparatus using a pressurizing jig as an example of automating a process of aligning a plurality of brake pads to a pressurizing jig.
그러나 상기 대한민국 공개특허 제10-2012-0013702호에 개시된 브레이크 패드 가압장치의 경우에는 장치 구성이 복잡하다는 단점이 존재한다. 이에 따라 현재 브레이크 패드 제조 공정에 있어서 클램핑 공정은 여전히 작업자의 수작업의 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 수작업에 의한 클램핑 공정은 스프링에 의한 가압 압력을 정확히 제어하지 못하거나, 작업자의 숙련도 등에 의해 브레이크 패드에 가해지는 압력이 일정하지 못하여 품질 불량을 야기시키고 있다. 또한, 가압 지그에 복수의 브레이크 패드를 정렬시키는 과정에 많은 작업 시간이 소요된다. However, the brake pad pressurizing device disclosed in the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0013702 has a disadvantage that the device configuration is complicated. Accordingly, in the current brake pad manufacturing process, the clamping process is still dependent on the manual operation of the operator. In the manual clamping process, the pressure applied by the spring is not accurately controlled, or the pressure applied to the brake pad is not constant due to the skill of the operator, which causes quality defects. In addition, the process of aligning the plurality of brake pads to the pressing jig takes a lot of work time.
한편, 브레이크 패드의 제조 공정에서 가압 지그에 브레이크 패드가 클램핑된 상태로 수행되는 상기 열처리 공정은 통상 5 ~ 12 시간이 소요되어 생산성을 저하시키는 문제가 존재하였다. On the other hand, in the manufacturing process of the brake pad, the heat treatment process performed in the state in which the brake pad is clamped to the pressing jig usually takes 5 to 12 hours, and there was a problem of lowering productivity.
지금까지의 브레이크 패드 제조 공정에 있어서는 가압 지그를 이용하여 브레이크 패드를 클램핑한 상태에서 열처리 공정을 수행하는 것이 당연하게 여겨져 왔다. In the conventional brake pad manufacturing process, it has been taken for granted that the heat treatment step is carried out while the brake pad is clamped using a pressure jig.
이에 대해 본 발명은 가압 지그를 사용하는 클램핑 공정을 생략함으로써 브레이크 패드 제조 공정에 소요되는 시간과 노동력을 감소시키는 한편, 제조된 브레이크 패드의 제조 품질을 안정성있게 유지할 수 있는 브레이크 패드 제조 방법 및 장치를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. On the other hand, the present invention provides a brake pad manufacturing method and apparatus that can reduce the time and labor required for the brake pad manufacturing process by eliminating the clamping process using the pressure jig, and can stably maintain the manufacturing quality of the manufactured brake pad. It aims to provide.

한편, 도 4를 참조한 설명에서는, 마찰재(12a)의 성형과 백플레이트(14)의 부착이 성형 장치(20)에서 함께 수행되는 것으로 예시하였으나, 본 발명의 실시에 있어서는 마찰재 분말(F)을 이용하여 마찰재(12a)의 가열, 가압 성형을 완료한 이후 성형된 마찰재(12a)를 백플레이트(14)에 부착하는 것도 가능할 수 있다.On the other hand, in the description with reference to FIG. 4, although the molding of the friction material 12a and the attachment of the back plate 14 are illustrated as being performed together in the molding apparatus 20, in the practice of the present invention, the friction material powder (F) is used. It is also possible to attach the molded friction material 12a to the back plate 14 after the heating and pressure molding of the friction material 12a is completed.
도 3과 도 5를 참조하여 품질 안정화 공정(S120)을 설명한다. A quality stabilization process S120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5.
품질 안정화 공정(S120)은 성형 공정(S110)에서 성형된 1차 브레이크 패드(10A)를 소정 압력과 온도를 가하여 마찰재(12a)의 품질을 안정화시키는 단계이다. 성형 공정(S110)에서 성형된 마찰재(12a)는 충분히 압착되지 않은 상태일 수 있고 이후 열처리 공정 등에서 마찰재(12a)의 형상이 변화될 수 있다. 본 발명에 있어서는, 품질 안정화 공정(S120)을 통해 마찰재(12a)의 특성을 안정화시킨 마찰재(12b)로 가공한 후 열처리 공정(S130)을 수행하게 된다. The quality stabilization process S120 is a step of stabilizing the quality of the friction material 12a by applying a predetermined pressure and temperature to the primary brake pad 10A formed in the molding process S110. The friction material 12a formed in the molding process S110 may not be sufficiently compressed, and then the shape of the friction material 12a may be changed in a heat treatment process. In the present invention, the heat treatment step (S130) is performed after processing to the friction material 12b stabilized the characteristics of the friction material 12a through the quality stabilization process (S120).
품질 안정화 공정(S120)은 마찰재(12a)를 소정 압력과 소정 온도에서 일정 시간 동안 유지시킴으로써 이루어질 수 있다. 이 때 마찰재(12a)의 형상을 유지하며 압력과 열을 전달할 수 있는 장치를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 품질 안정화 공정(S120)은 마찰재(12a)의 재료 및 특성에 따라 다양하게 이루어질 수 있다. The quality stabilization process S120 may be performed by maintaining the friction material 12a at a predetermined pressure and at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. At this time, it is preferable to use a device capable of transmitting pressure and heat while maintaining the shape of the friction material 12a. Quality stabilization process (S120) may be made in various ways depending on the material and properties of the friction material (12a).
도 5를 참조하면, 품질 안정화 공정(S120)은 1차 브레이크 패드(10A)를 가열하며 소정 압력으로 가압하는 품질 안정화 장치(30)를 이용하여 수행될 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 5, the quality stabilization process S120 may be performed using the quality stabilization device 30 that heats the primary brake pad 10A and pressurizes it to a predetermined pressure.
품질 안정화 장치(30)는, 상부 안정화몰드(32), 하부 안정화몰드(34) 및 상기 상부 안정화몰드(32)와 하부 안정화몰드(34) 사이에 위치하는 중간 안정화몰드(36)를 포함할 수 있다. The quality stabilization device 30 may include an upper stabilization mold 32, a lower stabilization mold 34, and an intermediate stabilization mold 36 positioned between the upper stabilization mold 32 and the lower stabilization mold 34. have.
일 실시예에 있어서, 상부 안정화몰드(32)는 상부 안정화가열부(32a)와 상기 상부 안정화가열부(32a) 하단에 결합된 상부 안정화가압부(32b)를 포함한다. 하부 안정화몰드(34)는 하부 안정화가열부(34a)와 상기 하부 안정화가열부(34a) 상단에 구비된 제 1 하부 안정화가압부(34b) 및 상기 제 1 하부 안정화가압부(34b) 상부의 제 2 하부 안정화가압부(34c)를 포함한다. 중간 안정화몰드(36)는 상하부가 관통하여 형성된 삽입 공간(38)을 포함한다. In one embodiment, the upper stabilization mold 32 includes an upper stabilization heating portion 32a and an upper stabilization pressing portion 32b coupled to a lower end of the upper stabilization heating portion 32a. The lower stabilization mold 34 includes a first lower stabilization pressing part 34b and an upper portion of the first lower stabilization pressing part 34b provided on the lower stabilization heating part 34a and the lower stabilization heating part 34a. And a lower stabilization pressing part 34c. The intermediate stabilization mold 36 includes an insertion space 38 formed through the upper and lower parts.
도 5의 (a)와 같이, 중간 안정화몰드(36)에 1차 브레이크 패드(10A)를 위치시킨다. 다음으로 도 5의 (b)와 같이 상부 안정화몰드(32)와 하부 안정화몰드(34)를 중간 안정화몰드(36) 방향으로 상대적으로 이동시켜 마찰재(12a)를 가압하여 품질 안정화 공정을 수행한다. 이때, 상부 안정화가열부(32a)와 하부 안정화가열부(32b)에 의해 1차 브레이크 패드(10A)에 열을 전달한다. As shown in FIG. 5A, the primary brake pad 10A is positioned in the intermediate stabilization mold 36. Next, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the upper stabilization mold 32 and the lower stabilization mold 34 are relatively moved in the direction of the intermediate stabilization mold 36 to press the friction material 12a to perform a quality stabilization process. At this time, heat is transmitted to the primary brake pad 10A by the upper stabilization heating part 32a and the lower stabilization heating part 32b.
도 5의 (b)와 같은 상태에서 품질 안정화 공정(S120)을 수행함에 있어서, 마찰재(12a)의 온도는 110 내지 260 ℃이고, 마찰재에 가해지는 압력은 성형공정(S110)에서 마찰재 분말에 가해지는 압력의 5~20%일 수 있다. 일례로 성형공정(S110)에서 마찰재 분말(F)에 가해지는 압력을 200 ~ 800 kgf/㎠ 범위로 한 경우, 품질 안정화 공정(S120)에서 마찰재에 가해지는 압력은 10 ~ 40 kgf/㎠일 수 있다. 또한, 상기 조건으로 100 내지 800 초간, 더욱 바람직하게는 400 내지 700 초간 유지하여 품질 안정화 공정(S120)을 진행할 수 있다. In performing the quality stabilization process (S120) in the state as shown in FIG. 5B, the temperature of the friction material 12a is 110 to 260 ° C., and the pressure applied to the friction material is applied to the friction material powder in the molding process S110. Can be 5 ~ 20% of losing pressure. For example, when the pressure applied to the friction material powder (F) in the molding process (S110) is in the range of 200 to 800 kgf / cm 2, the pressure applied to the friction material in the quality stabilization process (S120) may be 10 to 40 kgf / cm 2. have. In addition, the quality stabilization process (S120) may be performed by maintaining the conditions for 100 to 800 seconds, more preferably 400 to 700 seconds.
마찰재 분말(F)은 마찰조정재, 보강재, 결합재 등을 포함하여 혼합되는데, 품질 안정화 공정(S120)에서 마찰재(12a)의 온도가 110 ℃보다 낮은 경우 통상 수지 등으로 이루어지는 결합재의 경화가 충분히 이루어지지 않는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 또한, 마찰재(12a)의 온도가 260 ℃보다 높은 경우에는 마찰재(12a)에 크랙이 발생하거나 팽창하는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. The friction material powder (F) is mixed, including a friction adjusting material, a reinforcing material, a binder, and the like. When the temperature of the friction material 12a is lower than 110 ° C. in the quality stabilization process (S120), the binder, usually made of resin, is not sufficiently cured. Problems may occur. In addition, when the temperature of the friction material 12a is higher than 260 ° C., a problem may occur in which the crack occurs or expands in the friction material 12a.
도 5에 도시된 품질 안정화 장치(30)를 이용하여 품질 안정화 공정(S120)을 수행함에 있어서, 상부 안정화몰드(32)는 110 내지 160 ℃의 온도로 가열되고 하부 안정화몰드(34)는 190 내지 260 ℃의 온도로 가열된 상태일 수 있다. 이에 따라 마찰재(12a)에서 백플레이트(14)에서 먼 쪽의 온도가 백플레이트(14) 측에 가까운 쪽보다 높을 수 있다. 위와 같이 온도 구배가 형성되는 경우 실질적인 마찰재(12a)의 형상 유지와 품질을 소정 범위 내로 안정화함에 유리한 것을 확인하였다. In performing the quality stabilization process (S120) using the quality stabilization apparatus 30 shown in FIG. 5, the upper stabilization mold 32 is heated to a temperature of 110 to 160 ° C. and the lower stabilization mold 34 is 190 to It may be heated to a temperature of 260 ℃. Accordingly, the temperature of the side farther from the back plate 14 in the friction material 12a may be higher than the side closer to the back plate 14 side. When the temperature gradient is formed as described above, it was confirmed that it is advantageous to stabilize the shape maintenance and quality of the substantial friction material 12a within a predetermined range.
한편, 품질 안정화 공정(S120)에서 마찰재(12a)에 가해지는 압력이 낮은 경우(일례로 10 kgf/㎠ 미만인 경우)에는 마찰재(12a)의 형상 및 품질을 안정화함에 특별한 영향이 없고, 압력이 높은 경우(일례로 40 kgf/㎠ 초과인 경우)에는 마찰재(12a)의 형상 변화나 품질 특성을 소정 범위 내로 관리하지 못하는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. On the other hand, when the pressure applied to the friction material 12a in the quality stabilization process (S120) is low (for example, less than 10 kgf / cm 2), there is no particular effect in stabilizing the shape and quality of the friction material 12a, and the pressure is high. In the case (for example, more than 40 kgf / cm 2), there may be a problem that the shape change or quality characteristics of the friction material 12a can not be managed within a predetermined range.
도 5의 (b)와 같이 품질 안정화 공정을 수행하면, 도 5의 (c)와 같이 품질이 안정화된 마찰재(12b)가 백플레이트(14)에 부착된 2차 브레이크 패드(10B)가 완성된다. When the quality stabilization process is performed as shown in FIG. 5B, the secondary brake pad 10B having the stabilized friction material 12b attached to the back plate 14 as shown in FIG. 5C is completed. .
이후, 열처리 공정(S130)이 수행된다. Thereafter, a heat treatment process S130 is performed.
열처리 공정(S130)은 품질 안정화 공정(S120)을 통해 재료 특성이 안정화된 브레이크 패드(10B)를 소정 온도에서 열처리함으로써 마찰재(12b)를 경화시키는 단계이다. 열처리 공정은 품질 안정화 공정(S120)이 수행된 브레이크 패드(10B)에 별도의 압력을 가하지 않고 소정 온도의 오븐에 투입함으로써 이루어질 수 있다. The heat treatment step S130 is a step of curing the friction material 12b by heat-treating the brake pad 10B having stabilized material properties at a predetermined temperature through the quality stabilization step S120. The heat treatment process may be performed by adding the pressure to the oven at a predetermined temperature without applying a separate pressure to the brake pad 10B on which the quality stabilization process S120 is performed.
본 발명에 있어서는 품질 안정화 공정(S120)에서 압력과 열을 통해 마찰재(12b)의 특성을 안정화시킨 상태이므로 열처리 공정(S130)에서의 열처리 시간은 종래에 비해 단축될 수 있다. 종래에는 4 ~12 시간 정도의 열처리 시간이 필요하였으나, 본 발명의 경우 종래의 열처리 시간에 비해 20 ~ 60% 단축된 열처리 시간으로도 충분할 수 있다. In the present invention, since the characteristics of the friction material 12b are stabilized through pressure and heat in the quality stabilization process S120, the heat treatment time in the heat treatment process S130 may be shorter than in the related art. Conventionally, the heat treatment time of about 4 to 12 hours is required, but in the case of the present invention, a heat treatment time shortened by 20 to 60% compared to the conventional heat treatment time may be sufficient.
일 실시예에 있어서, 열처리 공정(S130)의 온도는 품질 안정 공정의 온도 이상으로 설정될 수 있다. 예를 들어 품질 안정화 공정이 200 ℃의 온도로 수행된 경우라면 열처리 공정(S130)의 온도는 그보다 높은 온도(예를 들면 300 ℃)로 수행될 수 있다. In one embodiment, the temperature of the heat treatment process (S130) may be set above the temperature of the quality stabilization process. For example, if the quality stabilization process is performed at a temperature of 200 ° C the temperature of the heat treatment process (S130) may be carried out at a higher temperature (for example 300 ° C).
열처리 공정(S130)이 완료된 후, 브레이크 패드(10B)에 대하여 연삭 공정(S140)을 수행한다. 연삭 공정(S140)은 브레이크 패드(10B)의 마찰재(12)의 모서리를 가공하거나 마찰재(12)의 전면에 소정 방향 또는 형상의 홈을 형성하는 과정을 포함할 수 있다. After the heat treatment step S130 is completed, the grinding step S140 is performed on the brake pad 10B. Grinding process (S140) may include a process of processing the edge of the friction material 12 of the brake pad 10B or forming a groove in a predetermined direction or shape on the front surface of the friction material 12.
이러한 공정을 통해 도 2에 도시된 바와 같은 브레이크 패드(10)가 제조될 수 있다. 한편, 연삭 공정(S140)이 완료된 후 브레이크 패드(10)에 차량 장착에 필요한 악세서리 등을 추가로 조립한 후 최종 완성품이 제조될 수 있다. Through this process, the brake pad 10 as shown in FIG. 2 may be manufactured. On the other hand, after the grinding process (S140) is completed after the assembly of accessories, such as necessary for mounting the vehicle on the brake pad 10 may be a final finished product.

The brake pad manufacturing method according to the conventional method (Comparative Example 1) is a state in which the brake pad 10A is loaded in the pressing jig after performing a clamping process of loading the plurality of brake pads 10A having the molding process into the pressing jig. The heat treatment was carried out at.
이에 대해, 본 발명에 따른 브레이크 패드 제조 방법(실시예1)은 성형 공정 완료후 브레이크 패드(10A)에 대해 품질 안정화 공정을 수행한 후 열처리를 수행하였다. 품질 안정화 공정은 도 4에 도시된 바와 같은 품질 안정화 장치(30)를 사용하여 수행하였고, 이 때 상부 안정화몰드(32)의 온도는 150℃, 하부 안정화몰드(34)의 온도는 200℃이며, 가압 압력은 10 kgf/㎠으로 하였다. On the other hand, the brake pad manufacturing method (Example 1) according to the present invention was subjected to a heat treatment after performing a quality stabilization process for the brake pad (10A) after the molding process is completed. Quality stabilization process was performed using the quality stabilization device 30 as shown in Figure 4, wherein the temperature of the upper stabilization mold 32 is 150 ℃, the temperature of the lower stabilization mold 34 is 200 ℃, Pressurization pressure was 10 kgf / cm <2>.

As a result of comparing the physical properties (compression deformation, specific gravity, hardness (HRR), shear strength) of the finished friction material 12 (average value) are shown in Table 1, the results of each of the brake pad samples manufactured under the same conditions Values are as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

Tolerances in Table 1 are applicant's own management criteria. Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 showed approximately similar characteristics, and the measured values for each of the prepared samples satisfied the tolerance.
